Birthday Gift

It's my birthday today. I want it simple. I didn't want a party. I just want to eat pancit bihon which I will cook, fried pork and maybe, if luck (ehem Sister C) is with me, another Lana cake.

All these came true. And, I wish to thank my family for it.

There's just this incident which touched my heart and melted it. Around 4pm, I got a call from Dawter T, she asked me to spell Bebi A's name. I asked why, she said, she's making a birthday card for me. And it's supposedly a surprise. Oh ok, so much for the surprise.

Around 5pm, I called home. I talked to her again. She said she's making a card with stars and that I shouldn't say it out loud coz it's a surprise. Haha. The difference it'll make to Dawter T.

Anyway, fast forward to my arrival at home. Ate A told me that Dawter T has another surprise for me. She cleaned our bathroom with ------ tissue! She said that Dawter T told her that "she worked, and she worked and she worked!" With matching pawis pa ha. I can only just imagine. She didn't even take her afternoon nap. And, she did all these for me.

I am still wondering how she figured out that the bathroom is the one place in the house which is very important to me. But she did. So with half of a tissue roll left, I am torn of wanting to keep it for memories. Or maybe just use it to show her that it doesn't take a roll of tissue to brighten someone's day.

I got the best birthday gift ever!

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Busy

Bebi A : Daddy, can you make me an airplane? Daddy : Later Ava, I am busy Bebi A : You always say you're busy, you're hurting my feelings... She then put her face down on the sofa. Drama queen!

2015

Looking back, 2015 is a mix of lows and highs, of mourning and dancing... 2015 held lots of firsts for us.  Ate T stepped into the world of secondary school and became a teen.  Ate A entered the world of school politics LOL and became a double digit tween.  Of course, not to be excluded is our cheeky baby A who turned 1 year old. Though this is not a first but I turned 40 this year.  Life begun as they say.  But, for me, it was just a continuation of the life I am trying to live wonderfully.  Though most of the happening during the first half of the year were more on the highs...  We faced some challenges on the second half.  We lost Tatay.  Though we prayed for his comfort, we couldn't help feel the lost.  A few weeks after, Pre's employer closed shop.  One day notice and bam!  No more office to go to.  I always believed that the Lord always prepare us for the best.  Pre's job hunting was not as pai...
